Please qualify this statement, Greg. I don't think its entirely accurate. I hate to "nit-pick" but this is the kind of misinformation that one person reads, accepts as gospel, passes it along to family and friends who, in turn, pass it along to their family and friends until it circles the globe a couple of times and ends up back here as a question. And the first one to pick it up and pass it along can have his life ruined, too: - he's made to look foolish in front of his prospective father-in-law, an ill-tempered sysadmin, who then increasingly starts finding fault with him - his girlfriend dumps him from the familial pressure and embarrassment - his hoped-for computer shop never materializes - the disappointment and broken heart lead him to drugs, alcohol, fast cars and women - he eventually dies penniless and homeless, his sole remaining possession being a worn-out CD containing partially corrupted jpegs of his ex-girlfriend from the better times. Sad, isn't it? - Carl ;-)
